I have a question, a silly one, and wondering if someone can advise...
I'm looking at picking up a MacBook of some sorts, either an Air or a Pro, but I have one question regarding the storage:-
On the Apple website, it states that the Air comes with "Flash storage". If I was to buy the pro, I would upgrade the HDD to a Solid State Drive, as I don't need oodles of space due to me storing the majority of my gumpf on the iMac.
Anyway, is there a difference between "Flash Storage" and a SSD? If so, which is faster/better/more reliable?
Both the models I've priced up, are in the same ball park, so just want to clarify the difference.
TLDR; What's the difference between SSD and "Flash Storage"?
Cheers, folks!
